Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

Ignition is a client engagement platform that helps firms manage proposals and payment collection. It is used by accounting and financial firms. Several users appreciate the platform’s continuity from client agreements to billing capabilities, though some note that it does not support digital signatures besides the proposals. Its recent update includes multi-office controls for enterprises managing operations across several locations.

Our Verdict

Ignition focuses on managing the commercial side of client engagements. It is suitable for accounting, bookkeeping, and consulting firms with repetitive client engagements. Several users consider the platform’s pricing worthwhile for saving administrative time, though some note that it might be costly for smaller firms. We recommend it for accounting practices managing recurring monthly client services.

Ignition Features

Contracts And Engagement Letters

Ignition features vetted templates that allow firms to create engagement letters with defined service terms and billing conditions. It also lets users collect electronic signatures from up to ten decision-makers before work actually begins. If the agreed scope changes later, the system enables firms to update the engagement and bill for additional work instead of handling it through a separate process.

See How It Works
Invoicing

The platform creates invoices based on the billing schedule agreed upon when a client accepts a proposal and then sends them according to those accepted terms. It allows users to automatically create those invoices in QuickBooks, Xero, or MYOB and update their status as paid when a payment is received. Ignition software also lets firms add messages to invoice emails and review past invoices with their billing dates, amounts, and line items.

See How It Works
Payments

The system collects client payment details when a proposal is accepted and allows firms to set up recurring charges or request one-time payments based on the agreed terms. It also lets clients pay deposits through cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or direct debit. Once payments are processed, the platform enables firms to review transactions and refunds while following up on any pending payments.

See How It Works
Billing

The software supports hourly, repetitive, one-time, deposit, and completion billing within client engagements. In case there’s any extra work that falls outside the agreed scope, Ignition allows firms to issue additional charges and notify clients. Additionally, the connected ledgers can receive invoices and payment status without manual updates.

See How It Works
Proposals

The system allows firms to create proposals according to already defined service packages, add-ons, discounts, and pricing options before actually presenting them to clients. It lets users present deals under the firm’s professional identity by providing several branding options, including branded pages, custom domains, videos, and email reminders. Once accepted, the system allows users to collect deposits or payment details and trigger the agreed billing process.

“Clearing AR is so easy now”

Pros

I like how everything is centralized from proposals to service agreements and payments all in one place. What really stands out is how responsive they are to client feedback and continuously enhance the platform with features we actually request.

Cons

Well I wish the service description area had better formatting options as being able to add tables or links would really help organize information better.

“It has really brought a positive change”

Pros

Ignition is the best for managing our client relationships. It makes it easy to outline services, customize terms and adjust billing for each client's needs. Since we started using digital proposals and automated billing, clients have been more open to digital tools. On top of that the software keeps improving as renewals are simple, bulk creation works great and customization options are great too. The support team is outstanding offering helpful insights, clever workarounds and even brainstorming future improvements with us. It has become an essential tool I enjoy using every day.

Cons

My biggest frustration is the lack of QuickBooks integration for billing as tracking payments each month for reconciliation is a pain, though we face similar issues with other software too. I wish we could add services or update billing within a 12 month proposal without doing a full renewal for small add ons. Sending identical proposals in bulk is also frustrating as there is no way to mark unaccepted ones as lost all at once so you have to do it individually. The learning curve is also steep and I am still one of the only people in my office who can use it confidently without issues. Even then I make mistakes like forgetting to change billing to proposal start or missing the billing cadence settings.
